Allosaurus vs. Stegosaurus display from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The small scutes along the throat of the Stegosaurus formed throat(aka gular) armor for added protection against predators, if the thagomizer at the end of the tail wasn’t enough.

Fun Kobold Fact #42: 📐🤔⚙️
Kobolds are very crafty, but often struggle to invent as a group since everyone tends to call things different names!!! Where some may say "spike," some may call it a stinger, a sharp, a stabber, an ouch-point, or even a thagomizer! As with most things when it comes to kobolds, the labels aren't too important. If it works, it works!!! ⚙️🙌😤⚙️

How do you feel about the term thagomizer for tail spikes? I personally love it and think its origin is hilarious, but I'd love your opinion on the matter!
I agree 100%

I would playfully whack all of you with my tail but alas, I have a thagomizer and it would be irresponsible

Today I learned that the term "thagomizer" originated in a Far Side comic.
Like it was originally just a joke and then scientists actually started to use it as the actual scientific word. Which just adds a completely new layer of comedy to it.

The distinctive array of four spikes on the end of stegosaurines' tails is called a thagomizer.

I almost wish Land Before Time had been written within the last few years. Then, instead of "Spike the Spiketail" we would've had "Thag the Thagomizer."
